TO  THE  PUBLIC. 

“Necessity  is  the  Mother  of  Invention.” 

JT  has  long  been  a fact  well  known  to  housewives  that  the  old  style  of 
swinging  blinds  are  a perplexing  inconvenience,  while  we  all  admit 
that  a proper  style  and  system  of  inside  window  blinds  are  an  important 
feature  in  every  modern  house,  home  and  office.  They  afford  comfort 
and  convenience  to  the  occupants ; they  exclude  light,  heat,  sun  and 
cold,  and  give  to  the  structure  an  ornamental  and  finished  appearance 
that  cannot  be  obtained  without  their  use.  They  are,  in  fact,  a part  of 
the  furniture  of  a house  and  care  should  be  taken  to  select  that  style  of 
blind  that  combines  simplicity  and  convenience.  So  many  objections 
are  urged  against  the  old  style  of  folding  blinds  hung  on  hinges,  which 
are  not  only  obtrusive  and  cumbersome,  but  take  up  a large  amount  of 
room  unnecessarily,  swinging  around  in  the  way,  tearing  the  curtains 
and  lambrequins,  sagging,  etc.,  that  they  are  fast  becoming  obsolete, 
and  architects  are  generally  specifying  the  sliding  Hinds  on  their  merits 
in  place  of  the  old  style.  Sliding  blinds  are,  therefore,  no  more  of  an 
experiment.  We  have  had  them  in  use  nearly  three  years,  and  where 
used  have  given  the  best  of  satisfaction.  They  are  simply  the  best 
inside  blind  ever  invented  and  have  come  to  stay,  and  are  fast  becoming 
the  future  blind,  and  have  only  to  be  seen  to  be  appreciated.  We  could 
print  hundreds  of  unsolicited  and  gratuitous  recommendations  from 
parties  who  have  used  them,  but  as  they  speak  for  themselves  and  tell 
their  own  story  in  such  a plain,  truthful  and  convincing  manner,  it  is 
not  necessary,  and  hence,  we  say,  no  man  contemplating  the  use  of 
inside  blinds  can  ignore  them  without  loss.

OUR  NEW  CATALOGUE. 

THIRD  EDITION. 

OWING  to  the  great  popularity  of  the  “Hartman  Patent  Sliding 
Blind,”  and  its  constantly  increasing  demand,  and  being  further 
stimulated  by  the  hitherto  liberal  support  and  encouragement  of  many 
prominent  architects  and  builders,  as  well  as  by  the  building  public  in 
general,  we  have  conceived  the  necessity  of  re-writing  our  former  cata- 
logue, greatly  enlarging  and  more  perfectly  adapting  it  to  the  interests 
of  our  advancing  blind  trade.  Hence,  we  enter  upon  our  work  with  the 
fall  assurance  that  this  Tlrird  Edition  of  our  catalogue,  with  its  many 
new  designs,  new  features  and  details,  showing  a variety  of  methods  for 
the  application  of  our  blind  to  window  frames  either  in  new  or  old 
houses,  will  be  appreciated  by  our  patrons,  and  will  be  more  easily 
understood  than  heretofore  by  the  building  community. 


THE  EXTENT  OF  OUR  TRADE. 

WE  are  almost  daily  receiving  letters  from  some  point  on  this  great 
Continent,  from  the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence  to  the  Gulf  of  Cali- 
fornia, and  from  the  Peninsular  of  Florida  to  the  Northwest  British 
possessions,  calling  for  our  Catalogues,  etc.,  some  saying,  “Sliding 
Blinds  are  commanding  a great  interest  in  this  section,  etc.;”  others, 
“There  is  a growing  demand  for  Sliding  Blinds  in  this  place,  etc.” 
Another  large  builder  writes,  “I  want  the  agency  of  your  blinds  ; there 
can  be  a large  business  built  up  here.”  Another  says,  “It  is  only  a 
question  of  a few  years  until  Sliding  Blinds  will  supplant  the  old 
fashioned  hinged  blind  altogether.”  Scores  have  written  for  agencies, 
shop-rights,  county-rights,  State-rights,  etc.,  and  thus,  if  we  had  the 
space,  we  might  quote  from  scores  of  letters  and  multiply  pages  in 
praise  of  our  blinds.  Yet,  notwithstanding  all  this,  we  now  and  then 
find  a party  who  sticks  to  the  old  unwieldy  swinging  blind,  like  some 
prejudiced  farmers  of  twenty  years  ago,  who  would  not  permit  a reaper 
on  their  farms  for  any  consideration — to-day  the  same  farmers  appreciate 
and  eulogize  the  reaper  as  an  indispensable.  So  it  is,  and  will  be,  in 
regard  to  Sliding  Blinds.

THE  HARTMAN  BLIND. 


GENERAL  DESCRIPTION. 


HESE  blinds  are  made  to  slide  up  and  down  in  the  window  (by  the 


use  of  steel  springs  which  are  hidden  from  view)  and  move  the 
same,  and  as  easily  as  sash  hung  on  weights,  and  will  stay  anywhere  you 
place  them. 

Light  and  ventilation  can  be  obtained  from  any  part  of  the  window. 
It  is  made  in  from  two  to  six  parts  or  sections  in  height,  which  move 
independent  of  each  other,  and  in  front  from  two  to  six  panels  or  divis- 
ions in  width  depending  on  the  width  of  windows.  No  hinges,  hence 
no  rattling  or  sagging,  or  swinging  to  and  fro,  and  tangling  up  with 
curtains,  lambrequins,  etc.,  as  is  the  case  with  the  old  style  of  blinds. 
Do  not  interfere  with  plants  or  flowers  on  the  window  sills.  They  never 
get  out  of  order,  and  will  wear  twice  as  long  as  the  old  style  of  blind. 
Can  be  fitted  in  the  window  in  one  hour  by  any  common  mechanic. 
Can  be  taken  out  and  replaced  in  a moment.  They  are  universally 
liked  and  admired  by  parties  who  are  using  them,  and  none  would 
exchange  them  for  any  other  blind.  In  fact,  we  have  sold  therm  to 
parties  who  have  taken  out  of  their  rooms  good  inside  blinds  of  the  old 
style,  and  replaced  them  with  these  new  and  improved  blinds.  They 
have  all  the  style,  beauty  and  appearance  of  the  old  fashioned  inside 
blinds, 


WITHOUT  HAVING  THEIR  INCONVENIENCES 


and  objectionable  features,  and  their  great  liability  to  get  out  of  order. 
While  having  all  these  superiorities  they  cost  from  $1.00  to  $2.00  per 
window  less  than  the  old  style,  and  will  wear  double  the  length  of  time. 

The  average  price  for  fitting  and  hanging  the  hinged  swinging  blinds 
is  about  $1.00,  and  an  additional  expense  of  from  50c.  to  $1.50  for 
hardware  per  window,  while  these  can  be  put  up  by  any  ordinary 
mechanic  for  25c.  per  window  and  cost  nothing  for  hardware,  as  that  is 
furnished  with  the  blinds.

These  blinds  have  passed  the  uncertainty  of  an  experiment,  and  are 
being  universally  endorsed  by  practical  men,  builders  and  architects,  as 
fast  as  they  have  an  opportunity  to  become  acquainted  with  them,  and 
are  very  rapidly  supplanting  the  old,  unwieldy  swinging  blind.  Within 
the  past  year  we  have  favorably  introduced  them  in  many  of  the  largest 
cities  of  the  United  States,  and  are  placed  in  the  best  and  finest  houses 
in  the  cities.  In  the  city  of  Cleveland  alone,  in  less  than  two  years 
from  the  time  the  first  blind  was  shipped  into  that  city,  there  are  now 
over  two  hundred  houses  having  them  in  use. 


The  Neatest  and  Best. 


S many  architects  and  builders  have  expressed  themselves,  “The 


1 1 neatest  and  best  arrangement  for  inside  blinds  we  ever  saw.” 
They  must  be  seen  to  be  appreciated  ; and  the  more  you  see  them,  the 
more  you  appreciate  them.  They  have  also  a most  beautiful  arrangement 
for  fly  screen,  consisting  of  an  additional  section  which  moves  up  and 
down  the  same  as  the  blind,  and  is  very  much  admired  by  all  for  its 
superior  novelty  and  convenience. 

At  the  Tri-State  Fair,  at  Toledo,  0.,  in  1884,  and  the  same  year  at 
the  Ohio  State  Fair,  at  Columbus,  0.,  these  blinds  carried  off  First 
Premiums  and  Diplomas  against  all  others,  and  received  also  from  the 
Board  of  Examiners  a voluntary  commend  of  special  praise  and  recom- 
mendation. 


Bear  in  Mind. 


I lEdo  not  compete  our  blinds  in  price  with  the  cheap,  shoddy  blinds 
^ ^ on  the  market,  which  have  no  recommendation  but  cheapness,  and 
are  made  for  sale  at  any  price,  Our  blinds  are  made  on  honor  and  for 
quality,  of  the  best  kiln  dried  lumber,  guaranteed  in  every  respect;  and 


with  proper  care  will  last  a life-time,  which  in  time  really  makes  them 
cheaper  than  the  cheapest.

OTHER  SLIDING  BLINDS. 

IN  presenting  this  catalogue  to  the  public,  representing  our  Superior 
Blinds,  we  are  not  ignorant  of  the  fact  that  there  are  other  Sliding- 
Blinds  offered  to  the  public  with  great  pretentions  to  merit,  but  we  find 
them  all  very  defective  ; as  for  instance,  some  with  springs  having- 
wooden  friction  blocks  fastened  to  the  end  of  each  spring,  which  soon 
split  off  or  wear  out  and  become  a constant  source  of  annoyance. 

The  advantages  of  the  Hartman  Blind  over  other  sliding  blinds  are 
many.  It  does  not  require  a window  frame  of  special  construction  to 
accommodate  it.  Can  be  placed  as  readily  into  an  old  window  as  a new 
one.  Does  not,  like  others,  require  cords,  weights,  pulleys,  etc.,  to 
balance  the  blinds,  which  makes  them  both  complicated  and  expensive. 
Some  manufacturers  abandon  the  blind  slat  rod  altogether,  and  instead 
employ  short  little  iron  strips  reaching  from  slat  to  slat,  having  nails 
driven  through  them  into  the  ends  of  the  slats,  which  soon  split  and 
break  off,  and  by  this  means  they  pretend  to  turn  the  slats,  by  compell- 
ing the  operator  to  take  hold  of  a single  slat  at  a time  (as  there  is  no  rod 
to  catch  by)  putting  the  resistance  of  all  the  slats  upon  the  little  nail 
driven  into  the  end  of  a single  slat,  which  soon  breaks  lose  and  your 
blind  is  ragged  and  ruined  and  you  cannot  replace  a slat  without  sending 
it  to  the  manufactory.  Another  trouble  is,  painting  or  varnishing  these 
little  complicated  contrivances  is  sure  to  stick  them  together,  and  ten 
chances  to  one,  get  broken  before  you  get  them  in  the  window.  Owing  to 
this  great  trouble  the  manufacturers  dure  not  send  them  out  unfinished, 
but  make  you  pay  an  exorbitant  price  for  finishing  at  the  manufactory. 

Others  again  have  very  faulty  springs,  being  held  by  a screw  at  one 
end  of  the  spring,  operating  upon  the  screw  like  a lever  and  fulcrum  upon 
a weight,  which  has  a tendency  to  draw  the  screw,  and  in  soft  wood  this 
is  soon  accomplished.  We  might  name  many  other  serious  defects,  all 
of  which  the  inventor  of  the  Hartman  blind  has  succeeded  in  avoiding. 
In  the  Hartman  blind  the  pivoted  slats  are  all  connected  with  a neat  and 
improved  wooden  rod  turning  all  the  slats  connectedly.  The  operator 
taking  hold  of  the  rod  (instead  of  a single  slat),  which  gives  a uniform 
pressure  upon  all  the  slats  at  the  same  time  along  the  entire  length  of 
the  rod,  and  as  the  friction  is  thus  equally  divided  among  all  the  slats 
bearing  upon  the  rod,  none  are  broken  lose.  Again,  we  use  a segment 
shaped  spring,  fastened  in  the  middle,  at  equal  distances  from  ends,  thus 
giving  equal  tension  on  each  end,  there  being  no  strain  on  the  nail  or 
screw  (see  Spring,  Fig.  40,  Page  41),  enabling  us  also  to  easily  remove 
our  blind  from  the  window  for  cleaning,  etc.,  and  replace  them  in  a 
moment  without  the  use  of  a tool.  In  short  we  challenge  the  world  to 
produce  its  equal  in  point  of  cheapness,  durability,  style,  convenience, 
mechanical  construction  and  general  merit.  All  admire  them.  The 
ladies  especially,  who  know  what  a nuisance  the  swinging  blinds  are. 
These  and  other  improvements  are  well  protected  by  patents,  either 
allowed  or  applied  for. 

We  have  an  unprecedented  trade  in  these  goods,  considering  the  short 
time  they  have  been  known,  which  is  constantly  increasing.

Fig.  1.  Represents  a perspective  view  of  our  sliding  blind  with  the 
three  sections  placed  in  position  in  the  window,  partly  raised  and  partly 
lowered,  and  is  called  the  “ Leader,  ” consisting  of  one  section  of  rolling- 
slats  in  front,  and  two  sections  of  stationary  slats  and  panels  in  the  rear, 
either  of  which  can  be  easily  moved  to  any  part  of  the  window,  and  will 
pass  independent  of  each  other,  up  or  down,  and  stay  wherever  placed. 

It  also  represents  a Roller  Shade  in  position  neatly  adjusted  in  between 
the  sashes  and  the  blinds.  See  more  minute  description  Fig.  21,  Page 
27.  This  shade  could  as  well  be  placed  entirely  inside  of  the  blinds  if 
so  preferred. 

You  will  also  notice  that  the  Blind  guides  extend  entirely  down  to 
the  floor  with  the  Panel  Back  in  the  rear  or  back  ground. 

Fig.  2.  Shows  the  Blinds  moved  down  in  position  at  the  floor,  neatly 
stored  out  of  the  way,  in  front  of  the  Panel  Back,  and  below  the  sashes, 
not  in  any  degree  obstructing -the  light,  with  Roller  Shade  adjusted  as 
before. 

The  guideways,  if  desired,  may  extend  only  to  the  top  of  the  window 
stool,  and  need  not  run  to  the  floor  unless  so  preferred  by  the  builder. 
The  cost  is  the  same  either  way.

would  not,  however,  recommend  so  much  Rolling  Slats  in  a window  for 
ordinary  climates,  as  they  admit  too  much  dust  and  require  more  clean- 
ing, and  rooms  cannot  be  so  readily  darkened.

The  “Novelty”  is  a modification  of  the  blinds,  which  has  certain  conveniences, 
and  may  often  be  preferred  to  the  common  styles  before  described.  In  this  mod- 
ification the  blind  section  is  made  in  the  usual  manner,  but  the  inside  divisions  of 
one  section  are  made  to  swing  on  hinges,  so  as  to  open  and  shut  at  pleasure.  The 
section  slides  up  and  down  in  connection  with  the  other  sections  of  which  it  consti- 
tutes a part.  This  swinging  may  be  applied  to  any  of  the  other  styles  of  blinds  if 
desired,  and  costs  50c.  extra,  including  the  special  hardware  hinges  and  shutter-bar, 
fitted  on.

NOTE. 


J HE  foregoing  system  of  blinds  constitutes  the  prevailing  styles,  and 
by  the  large  majority  of  architects  and  builders,  one  or  the  other 
is  chosen.  We,  however,  modify  this  system  to  any  extent  desired  by 
our  patrons.  And  hence  we  introduce  the  following  cuts  to  suggest  to 
the  reader  a few  of  the  changes  that  may  be  made,  and  perhaps  the  most 
desirable  ones.  With  the  use  of  the  Hartman  patented  extended  guide- 
ways  the  blinds  can  be  run  either  above  or  below  the  sashes  or  partly 
above  and  partly  below,  or  all  below  the  sill  into  the  Hartman  Patent 
Pocket,  as  illustrated  on  pages  24  and  25,  Figs.  17  and  19.  Thus  in 
either  case  uncovering  the  entire  window. 

For  the  sake  of  distinction  and  convenience  we  classify  these  various 
styles  under  the  letters  of  the  alphabet,  U,  V,  W,  X,  Y,  Z. 

We  have  also  indicated  the  combination  of  rolling  slats,  panels  and 
stationary  slats  to  be  used  in  the  six  following  styles,  U,  V,  W,  X,  Y, 
Z,  and  in  this  manner  they  will  be  uniformly  made,  except  only,  upon 
special  orders  will  changes  be  made,  and  then  variations  must  be  spec- 
ified when  the  order  is  sent  in.

entire  window  and  does  not  obstruct  the  view  of  the  transom  from  the  outside. 
This  plan  may  consist  of  three  or  four  sections  in  a window  and  a corresponding 
number  of  grooves  in  the  guideways.  And  it  is  a good  plan  to  be  adopted  when 
ceilings  are  high  and  windows  set  near  the  floor  so  as  to  aff  ord  no  room  for  pockets 
below.

“NOVELTY”  SECTION. 


HINGED  DIVISIONS. 

This  cut  represents  a specialty  in  the  construction  of  our  blinds,  be- 
ing a section,  the  frame  of  which  is  made  in  the  usual  manner,  but  the 
inside  divisions  are  made  to  swing  upon  hinges,  to  open  and  shut  at 
pleasure— the  whole  to  slide  up  or  down  in  the  window  in  connection 
with  the  otliei  sections  and  constituting  one  of  them.  This  is  a very 
beautiful  arrangement  as  well  as  convenient,  and  is  greatly  admired  by 
all.  These  are  made  only  to  order,  and  cost  50c.  per  section  extra,  to  be 
added  to  the  regular  price. 

This  cut  also  represents  our  segment  shaped  or  elliptic  spring,  the 
most  improved  and  best  friction  spring  for  this  purpose  that  can  be  de- 
vised, being  far  in  advance  of  all  other  springs  used  in  sliding  blinds. 
Fastened  in  the  middle  with  wire  nails,  both  ends  of  the  spring  having 
equal  tension,  the  spring  is  balanced  and,  therefore,  I, here  is  no  strain  on 
the  nails,  giving  two  bearings  to  each  spring,  while  other  springs  used 
for  the  same  purpose,  have  but  one  bearing  each.  The  spring  enters 
into  the  blind  guide  having  the  deep  groove,  and  is  hidden  from  view. 
To  remove  the  blind  from  the  window  we  have  but  to  press  the  section 
against  these  springs  far  enough  to  let  it  pass  out  of  the  shallow  groove 
on  the  opposite  side,  and  thus  all  the  sections  can  be  easily  removed  by 
any  lady  or  young  girl  without  the  use  of  a tool  of  any  kind.  See  Fig. 
40,  page  41.

22  HARTMAN  & DURSTINE.  WOOSTER,  OHIO. 


TO  ARCHITECTS  AND  BUILDERS. 

General  Instructions  Regarding  the  Hartman  Blind. 

Item  1.— They  are  made  to  order  only,  and  of  a variety  of  different 
kinds  of  wood,  as  parties  may  desire. 

Item  2. — They  are  made  from  two  to  six  sections  in  height,  depend- 
ing largely  on  the  wish  of  the  builder  and  the  height  of  the  window. 

Item  3. — A section  may  consist  of  from  two  to  six  or  eight  divisions 
or  panels  in  width,  depending  on  width  of  window. 

Item  4. — All  blinds  are  in.  thick,  with  mortise  and  tenon  joints 
well  glued,  and  of  best  kiln  dried  lumber. 

Item  5. — The  several  sections  are  held  in  any  desired  position  bv 
means  of  concealed  steel  springs,  and  can  easily  be  moved  up  and  down 
in  the  window  the  same  as  sash. 

Item  6. — The  blinds  can  easily  and  quickly  be  removed  from  the 
windows  for  cleaning,  dusting,  &c. , by  simply  pressing  them  slightly  to  the 
right  hand  side  against  the  springs,  and  be  as  easily  replaced  in  a moment. 

Item  7. — Each  section  is  furnished  with  all  the  necessary  hardware 
fitted  on,  either  of  Berlin  bronze,  nickel  plate,  or  real  bronze. 

Item  8. — The  springs  vary  in  size  and  tension  to  suit  the  weight  of 
blinds. 

Item  9. — The  springs  consist  of  one  solid  piece  of  steel  well  tem- 
pered, which  has  two  friction  bearings,  equally  balanced  on  its  center 
and  not  fastened  at  one  end  only,  like  others,  and  complicated  with 
wooden  friction  blocks  to  split  off,  or  with  cords,  weights  and  pulleys. 

Item  10. — The  pivoted  slats  are  all  connected  with  a neat  and  im- 
proved slat  rod,  which  is  after  all,  the  best  method  of  turning  the  slats 
known  to  the  trade. 

Item  11. — They  are  made  of  any  desired  combination  of  rolling  slats 
pommels,  and  stationary  slats,  all  panels  being  raised  on  both  sides,  thus 
forming  a pleasing  variety,  for  which  Hartman  holds  the  exclusive  pat- 
ent right. 

Item  12. — The  Hartman'BIind  does  not  absolutely  require  a special 
construction  of  window  frame,  but  can  be  suited  to  all  kinds  of  frames 
in  new  and  old  buildings. 

Item  13. — We  also  make  a Patent  Fly  Screen,  to  be  used  in  conjunc- 
tion with  the  blinds,  and  slides  like  the  blinds  to  any  position  desired. 
Is  a great  convenience  and  much  admired  by  the  ladies. 

Item  14. — Bear  in  mind,  all  the  manufacturer  furnishes  with  the 
blinds,  are  the  guideways  (long  enough  for  pockets  when  used  for  that 
purpose),  the  necessary  number  of  springs  and  wire  nails,  and  a com- 
plete set  of  the  necessary  hardware  for  each  set  of  blinds,  fitted  on. 

Item  15. — Nothing  is  furnished  for  pockets  either  above  or  below, 
except  by  special  agreement;  as  pockets  can  be  readily  made  and  ar- 
ranged at  the  house  by  the  carpenter. 

Item  16. — Painting  or  varnishing  will  also  be  done  in  a superior 
manner  in  any  desired  style,  plain  or  fancy,  at  our  list  prices  for  finishing. 

Item  17. — State  also  if  the  blinds  are  to  run  into  pockets  either  above 
or  below,  or  if  both  above  and  below,  and  give  the  additional  length  of 
the  guideways. 


HARTMAN  & DURSTINE,  WOOSTER,  OHIO.  23 


Item  18. — Order  the  style  of  guideways  by  numbers  on  catalogue  and 
state  whether  moulded  or  square  edges  are  wanted;  if  this  information  is 
not  given,  we  use  our  own  judgment  and  make  them  in  the  usual  form 
as  per  details  on  pages  37  and  38. 

Item  19. — All  blinds  are  put  free  on  board  cars  at  the  place  where 
manufactured  in  good  condition,  and  well  boxed  and  bill  of  lading  for- 
warded to  purchaser,  and  here  our  responsbility  as  to  damages,  breakage 
or  delays  in  transportation  ceases,  unless  by  special  agreement  otherwise. 

Item  20. — In  all  cases  where  the  guideways  project  into  the  room  be- 
yond the  casing  on  account  of  narrowness  of  jambs,  short  pieces  of  the 
same  should  be  mitred  with  the  guideway  across  the  top  of  the  window 
to  make  a complete  finish  around  the  top. 

Item  21. — When  pockets  are  intended  to  be  used,  the  guideways  may 
be  ordered  in  advance , and  placed  into  the  window  at  the  proper  time 
before  finishing  up.  The  blinds  can  any  time  afterward  be  readily 
placed  in  position. 

Item  22. — Printed  Order  Blanks  are  furnished  free  on  application  to 
all  desiring  our  blinds;  these  are  very  important  to  prevent  mistakes, 
and  should  be  carefully  filled  out  and  forwarded  to  us. 

Item  23 — Directions. — To  take  measures  when  ordering  give  exact 
width  between  the  jambs,  or  where  the  guides  and  blinds  are  to  set;  give 
full  width  without  allowing  for  guideways,  as  we  allow  for  the  thickness 
of  the  guides  ourselves  in  making  the  blinds.  Give  exact  height  from 
top  of  window  stool  to  under  side  of  head  jamb.  When  blinds  are  to 
run  into  pockets,  give  full  length  of  guideways.  For  Segment  Head, 
Gothic  or  Half  Circle  tops  give  full  size  drawings  of  heads. 

Item  24 — Caution. — See  to  it  that  window  frames  are  made  of  uni- 
form width  from  top  to  bottom.  Sometimes  carpenters  put  frames  up 
out  of  square  and  plasterers  crowd  the  middle  of  the  jambs  together, 
making  the  frame  narrower  in  the  middle  than  at  the  top  and  bottom, 
which  prevents  the  easy  movement  of  the  blinds,  as  well  as  the  sash. 
Keep  the  jambs  straight. 

Item  25.— Never  allow  your  painter  to  varnish  the  grooves  in  the 
guideways  and  daub  the  edges  of  the  blinds  that  enter  them,  as  it  is  sure 
to  make  them  stick  and  move  hard  and  rough.  Then  you  are  apt  to 
find  fault  with  the  blinds,  when  it  is  not  in  the  least  their  fault,  but  in 
your  finishing.  Scrape  all  the  varnish  off  the  edges  and  out  of  the 
grooves,  and  oil  with  linseed  oil;  that  will  give  them  the  varnish -color, 
and  if  they  should  move  hard,  apply  a little  lubricating  oil,  especially  in 
the  shallow  grooves.  Now  if  you  neglect  these  instructions  don’t  fault 
the  blinds  if  they  move  hard  or  rough,  for  the  fault  is  your  own.  The 
same  error  is  also  made  by  careless  workmen  who  daub  the  rolling  slats 
and  make  them  stick  fast. 

Item  26. — It  will  be  noticed  by  referring  to  detail  of  guideway  No. 
8,  page  38,  that  it  may  be  used  where  jambs  are  too  narrow  for  a wide 
guideway  as  shown  in  Figs.  22,  23,  25,"  26,  30,  33,34,  in  which  it  will  be 
seen  that  the  sections  are  reduced  in  thickness  on  the  edges  to  fit  in  the 
narrow  grooves,  thereby  requiring  less  width  of  jamb  and  guideway  to 
receive  the  blinds.  When  this  is  desired,  it  must  be  so  ordered,  for  in 
the  absence  of  any  special  instructions  on  this  point,  they  will  be  made 
the  usual  way.

DETAILS  FOR  POCKETS. 


Scale  3 inches  to  the  foot  or  quarter  full  size. 


This  drawing  details  in  part  the  “Hartman  Patent  Blind  Pocket,” 
with  panel  back  in  front  of  the  blinds  and  adjustable  window  stool  to 
cover  the  Pocket  to  prevent  accumulation  of  dirt  and  small  articles  from 
falling  into  the  pockets. 


TAKE  NOTICE. 

We  have  the  only  Patent  in  the  United  States  and  in  the  Dominion 
of  Canada  for  this  important  and  convenient  arrangement,  and  we  here- 
by warn  all  builders,  architects  and  the  general  public  not  to  use  the 
same  or  its  mechanical  equivalent  except  for  the  “Hartman  Patent 
Blind”  only,  without  written  consent  of  the  Patentee. 

All  infringements  will  be  vigorously  prosecuted. 


HARTMAN  &.  DURSTINE,  WOOSTER,  OHIO.  25 


Fig.  18  represents  the  blinds  thus  neatly  stored  away  in  a pocket,  with 
the  panel  back  in  front  of  the  blinds,  and  the  patent  adjustable  win- 
dow sill  or  lid  to  close  up  the  pocket  as  illustrated  with  dotted  lines. 
See  Fig.  19,  which  shows  a side  view  of  the  same  and  represents  the 
blinds  stored  down  in  the  pocket  and  shows  the  manner  of  constructing 
the  same  with  stationary  panel  back  in  front. 

The  front  part  of  the  window  sill  is  made  stationary,  and  the  back 
portion  of  which  may  be  provided  with  hinges  to  operate  as  a lid  over 
the  pocket,  as  shown  by  the  dotted  lines  when  opened,  and  neatly  fit- 
ting over  against  the  sash  or  sash  bead  and  jambs  when  closed.  See  Fig. 
17.  Or  if  preferred,  instead  of  using  hinges,  the  window  sill  may  be 
made  to  slide  in  transverse  grooves  cut  across  the  blind  guides,  thus  to 
open  and  close  the  pockets  by  the  sliding  of  the  sill  out  and  in. 

This  panel  back  may  also  be  made  movable  by  employing  a blind 
guide  with  an  additional  groove,  and  be  made  to  slide  in  unison  with 
the  blinds,  and  when  used  in  connection  with  the  two  close  sections  of 
blinds,  forms  a complete  closing  of  the  windows  and  protection  against 
cold  winds,  dust,  &c.

Scale,  1)4  inch  to  the  foot. 

This  shows  the  manner  of  ob-

to  carry  the  blinds  lower  than 
the  floor.  The  joist  A being  cut 
away.  D represents  the  position 
of  wainscoating  or  plastering  that 
should  be  put  in  to  show  a finish 
when  the  blinds  are  removed.  A 
slide  may  be  provided  at  the  floor 
to  close  the  pocket  when  blinds 
are  removed.  No  window  stool  in 
this  case. 

However,  our  Patent  Pocket 
as  described  on  the  preceding- 
pages,  can  easily  be  arranged  if 
desired.

We  have  reproduced  the  drawing  on  page  7 and  Fig.  2 showing  a 
front  elevation  of  a window  frame  when  the  blind  sections  are  all  stored 
away  down  to  the  floor,  by  the  use  of  our  patented  extended  gnideways. 
With  a view  of  giving  a fuller  detail  in  which  Fig.  21  represents  a verti- 
cal sectional  side  view  of  the  same,  and  manner  of  constructing  the  win- 
dow frame,  &c.  See  also  Fig.  20.  It  also  details  the  manner  of  adjust- 
ing a Roller  Shade  on  the  bead  or  sash  stop,  if  one  is  desired.  If  the 
bead  or  sash  stop  should  be  too  narrow  to  receive  the  roller,  it  may  be 
widened  at  the  top  by  placing  in  the  space  occupied  by  the  lower  sash  a 
block  of  even  thickness  of  the  bead,  or  the  bead  may  be  made  short  enough 
to  receive  the  roller  directly  above  it  against  the  jambs.

Details  of  Sections  of  Window  Frames. 

We  have  endeavored  in  this  catalogue  to  answer  all  the  inquiries  made 
in  time  past,  in  regard  to  the  adjustment  of  our  blinds  to  windows  old 
and  new,  and  the  manner  of  constructing  frames  best  adapted  to  our  va- 
rious styles  of  blinds,  with  or  without  pockets.  To  illustrate  more  fully 
the  same,  we  now  present  to  the  reader  a number  of  details  of  sections  of 
window  frames,  to  assist  architects  and  builders  in  getting  out  their  full 
sized  details  suitable  for  the  application  of  our  blinds.  The  architect  will 
readily  see  that  these  details  may  be  easily  modified  to  any  extent  the  case 
demands  and  are  intended  more  as  a suggestion  to  the  practical  builder 
than  as  a necessity.  The  fourteen  following  details  are  all  drawn  on  a 
scale  of  3 inches  to  the  foot,  or  quarter  full  size. 


2x4  Studding.  1 Inch  Siding. 

Fig.  22  illustrates  where  the  jambs  are  left  wide  enough  to  receive  the 
blind  guide  grooves  directly  into  them,  as  shown  in  the  cut.  This  will 
allow  the  sash  to  be  removed  without  removing  the  blind  guides.  In  this 
way  the  usual  inside  and  outside  stops  can  be  used  on  a 2x4  studding 
wall  with  inch  siding.  This  is  a good  plan  to  adopt  when  window'  frames 
are  made  for  new  buildings.

the  usual  inside  sash 
stop  placed  upon  the 
jambs. 

The  outer  section, 
or  blind,  next  to  the 
glass,  slides  against 
the  sash  stop,  the 
grooved  strip  being- 
made  narrower  than 
usual  and  is  combined 
with  the  sash  stop  to 
complete  the  blind 
guide.  On  this  plan 
blind  guides  and  sash 
stops  must  be  removed 


before  sashes  can  be  taken  out  of  the  window,  and  is  usually  adopted  where 
houses  are  already  built,  having  the  common  window  frame.

\ plenty  of  jamb  room  is  de- 
sired, the  outside  casing 
may  be  made  to  form  the

for  granted  where  inside

Shutters  are  not  wanted, 
hence  we  allow  the  outside

We  also  prefer  what  is 
shown  in  the  cut,  and  re- 
commend in  all  cases  where  it  is  practical,  to  set  the  blind  guides  back 
an  inch  or  two  from  a flush  line  of  the  inside  surface  of  the  jamb,  for 
the  reason  that  the  light  is  less  obstructed  by  the  jambs,  the  sash  can 
be  more  easily  removed,  and  affords  a finer  and  better  inside  finish  for 
the  window.

COMBINATIONS. 


STATIONARY  SLATS  ROLLING  SLATS  and  ST  A- 
AND  PANELS.  TIONARY  SLATS. 


This  figure  represents  the  Hartman  patent  stationary  slats,  which  is 
a fine  imitation  of  the  rolling  slats,  and  is  generally  used  in  one  or  more 
of  the  upper  sections,  and  when  seen  from  the  outside,  have  the  ap- 
pearance of  rolling  slats  closed.  The  slats  overlap  each  other  similar  to 
the  rolling  slats,  and  are  secured  with  tenons  in  the  grooves  on  the 
edges  of  the  stiles  and  mullions.  These  having  all  the  style  and  beauty 
of  the  rolling  slats,  have  the  advantage  of  being  dust  proof,  easy  to 
clean,  do  7iot  rattle  and  fall  open  when  you  desire  to  darken  the  room; 
and  in  a sliding  blind  are  much  more  desirable  than  all  rolling  slats,  as 
the  principle  of  the  rolling  is  substituted  with  the  sliding  principle,  that 
is,  the  sliding  takes  the  place  of  the  rolling  to  a large  extent.  When 
light  or  ventilation  is  wanted  we  slide  the  sections  to  any  desired  posi- 
tion. It  is  a common  experience  that  too  many  rolling  slats  in  a win- 
dow are  a nuisance.  Hence  most  builders  combine  them  with  solid 
panels.  But  our  patent  slat  we  regard  as  another  improvement,  and 
combines  beautifully  with  panels  and  rolling  slats.  Hence  our  various 
styles  and  combinations  as  shown  in  this  catalogue,  arc  the  prevailing 
styles  and  are  largely  ordered  by  architects  and  builders. 

Note. — On  this  combination  of  solid  panels  and  stationary  slats,  and 
rolling  slats  and  stationary  slats  in  a Sliding  Blind  Section  we  hold  the 
exclusive  right  to  manufacture,  sell  or  use  the  same  under  the  Hartman 
patent,  and  caution  all  parties  against  infringements.  Patented  Nov.

PATENT  FLY  SCREEN. 


Fig.  44. 


Our  Fly  Screen  substantially  constitutes  an  additional  section  which 
slides  up  and  down  the  same  as  the  Blinds. 

This  is  placed,  usually,  in  the  rear  groove  of  the  guideway  next  to 
the  sash,  and  being  placed  inside  the  glass  affords  superior  convenience 
to  the  operator,  and  they  will  not  rust  out  in  a year  or  two,  as  do  those 
placed  on  the  outside  of  the  window. 

They  are  usually  made  one-half  the  height  of  the  window  or  the 
height  of  the  lower  sash. 

We  use  none  but  the  best  wire  cloth,  well  painted  (not  merely 
stained),  either  plain  or  ornamental,  as  may  be  desired. 

The  cloth  is  well  stretched  and  fastened  into  grooves  on  its  edges  in 
a new  and  superior  manner,  and  will  not  break  loose,  as  it  does  when 
fastened  in  the  usual  manner  with  the  use  of  tacks.

OUR  SECOND  CLASS  BLINDS 

FOR  STAINED  OR  PAINTED  FINISH. 

IN  selcting  lumber  for  first-class  blinds,  we  lind  there  is  a great  deal  of 
good  lumber  of  all  kinds  of  wood  thrown  in  off-falls  on  account  of 
stains,  sap  and  a variety  of  colors,  not  sufficiently  uniform  to  permit  it 
to  go  into  blinds  to  be  finished  natural  wood.  This  lumber  is  in  all 
other  respects  first-class,  sound  and  dry  &c.,  and  will  make  equally  as 
good  work  as  any  01116]'  for  any  colored,  stained  or  painted  finish.  In 
regard  to  workmanship,  hardware,  and,  in  short,  in  every  other  respect, 
except  as  named  above,  are  as  good  in  quality  and  guaranteed  the  same 
as  the  best. 

The  prices  for  these  blinds,  for  any  of  the  different  styles,  will  be  10 
per  cent,  less  than  the  price  of  first-class  blinds. 


TAKE  NOTICE. 

We  make  no  difference  in  price  of  blinds  when  made  up  of  the 
different  combinations  of  slats  and  solid  panels  or  of  all  slats  or  all 
panels,  all  being  the  same  price. 


AN  IMPORTANT  CONSIDERATION. 

Architects  specifying  sliding  blinds  and  wishing  to  use  ours,  should 
be  particular  to  name  the  Hartman  Patent  Sliding  Blinds.  Contrac- 
tors may  supply  a cheap  shoddy  sliding  blind  (as  has  alrendy  been  de- 
veloped in  a few  instances)  when  their  clients  supposed  thay  were  get- 
ting the  Hartman  blinds,  which  has  not  only  been  a source  of  annoy- 
ance to  us,  but  also  a damage  to  both  the  architect  and  to  his  client. 
Therefore,  we  wish  to  impress  it  also  upon  the  mind  of  the  party  build- 
ing, who  are  desiring  to  use  our  blinds,  to  so  instruct  his  architect  be- 
forehand, that  the  proper  blinds  are  specified. 


NOTE. 

On  account  of  the  superior  durability  of  this  style  of  blind,  we 
especially  recommend  them  for  places  where  they  receive  rough  usage, 
as  in  hotels,  public  halls,  colleges,  school  houses,  &c.  Children  cannot 
swing  on  them  and  break  them  down.

Our  Improved  Inside  Folding  Blinds. 


HILE  our  many  patrons  mostly  call  for  the  Patent  Sliding 


Blinds,  yet  we  are  not  unmindful  of  those  who  still  prefer  the 


folding  blinds,  and  we  shall  be  glad  at  all  times  to  receive  their  orders. 
Our  folding  blinds  are  an  improvement  on  the  old  style,  neater  and  bet- 
ter made,  and  we  can  truthfully  say,  are  not  excelled  by  any  folding 
blinds  in  the  country.  We  make  these,  like  the  sliding  blinds,  of  the 


various  kinds  of  wood,  of  best  kiln  dried  material  and  of  similar  combi- 
nations as  may  be  desired. 


THE  PKICE 


of  folding  blinds  is  the  same  price  list  as  for  sliding  blinds,  depending 
on  the  number  of  folds,  width  of  windows,  kinds  of  wood,  etc.;  with 
this  difference,  however,  that  no  hardware  is  included  in  th°  price  for 
folding  blinds.  Hardware,  if  furnished  by  us,  will  cost  extra.  We  are 
also  largely  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  Outside  Blinds  of  an  im- 
proved construction,  and  also  Doors,  Sash,  Mouldings,  Brackets,  etc. 
All  orders  intrusted  to  us  will  receive  prompt  attention.  Particular 
orders  for  odd  sizes,  etc.,  made  a specialty. 

We  make  a siiecialty  of  DOOR  AND  WINDOW  SCREENS  of  all 
sizes  which  are  also  constructed  on  an  improved,  plan ; the  edges  of  the 
wire  cloth  are  inserted  in  grooves  in  the  stiles  and  rails  of  the  frame, 
enabling  us  to  stretch  the  cloth  more  uniformly  than  heretofore  and  se- 
curely fastened  without  the  use  of  tacks,  which  are  continually  break- 
ing loose. 

We  use  none  but  the  best  wire  cloth,  well  painted,  (not  merely 
stained)  either  plain  colors,  or  ornamental  as  parties  may  desire.  The 
price  of  screens  for  all  plain  work  is  the  same  as  given  for  screens  on 
price  list  for  blinds.

DIRECTIONS 


FOE  FITTING  HARTMAN'S  PATENT 


BLINDS. 


S you  stand  inside  the  room,  facing  window,  place  the  deep  grooved 


»-  guideway  on  the  right  hand  jamb  of  the  window,  the  shallow 
guideway  on  the  left  hand  jamb.  Adjust  the  guideways  equal  distance 
apart,  from  top  to  bottom  of  window.  Then  fasten  the  deep  grooved 
guideway  with  three  or  four  £ No.  8 screws,  and  the  shallow  grooved 
guideway  with  same  number  of  li  No.  8 screws.  We  prefer  screws  to 
nails,  so  that  they  can  be  removed  if  desired.  Now  place  the  right 
hand  edge  of  blind  or  section  into  the  bottom  of  deep  groove,  pass  the 
left  hand  edge  of  blind  or  section  in  front  of  the  corresponding  groove 
of  shallow  guideway. 

If  the  space  between  the  left  hand  edge  of  section  and  shallow 
guideway  is  f of  inch  scant,  that  is,  if  it  clears  and  passes  the  shal- 
low guideway  by  scant  of  an  inch  (to  which  it  must  be  brought  by 
dressing  off  if  too  wide),  then  nail  on  the  springs,  using  f inch  wire 
nails  (which  are  furnished  with  the  blinds)  on  the  right  hand  side  and 
as  near  the  bottom  and  top  of  each  section  as  they  will  work,  putting 
two  springs  on  each  section. 

Now  place  the  springs  into  the  deep  groove  and  press  them  back 
until  the  blind  passes  and  slips  into  the  corresponding  shallow  groove 
in  the  opposite  side.  Fit  each  blind  or  section  the  same  way. 

When  the  window  jambs  are  so  narrow  that  the  guideways  project 
into  the  room  further  than  the  jambs,  there  must  be  a headpiece  to 
guideway  and  mitred  at  corners  and  finished  around  the  top,  and  the 
back  of  guideway  can  be  finished  up  with  a quarter  round,  or  mould- 
ing strip. 

Caution. — Oil  the  grooves  in  guideways  with  linseed  oil,  never  put 
paint  or  varnish  in  the  grooves,  as  it  will  cause  the  blinds  to  stick,  and 
if  they  should  move  hard  or  stick  from  any  cause,  rub  into  the  grooves 
a little  lubricating  oil.  If  you  will,  however,  allow  careles  carpenters, 
butcher  them  up  in  fitting,  and  painters  to  daub  the  grooves  and  the 
edges  of  the  sections  that  enter  into  them,  with  varnish,  then  don’t  fault 
the  blinds  for  not  working  smoothly  and  easily.  Follow  these  directions 
and  all  will  work  like  a charm.

TESTIMONIALS. 


MONGr  the  hundreds  of  testimonials  we  could  produce  from  the 


J-  most  practical  builders  in  the  country,  we  will  give  space  for 
only  a few  voluntarily  given  us  and  without  solicitation  on  our  part, 
which  should  he  sufficient  guarantee  to  the  public  to  prove  the  merits 
of  our  blinds.  In  fact  the  Hartman  Blind  requires  no  testimonials  to 
recommend  it  where  it  is  known,  and  therefore  the  following  are  in- 
tended only  for  those  who  are  unacquainted  with  the  blinds.  The  fol- 
lowing are  clippings  from  a few  letters  received  from  our  patrons,  most 
of  them  having  inclosed  drafts  or  checks  in  payment  of  blinds  received: 

From  David  Hall,  Contractor  and  Builder,  Steubenville,  O. : 

“Shutters  came  all  right — have  hung  them  and  they  work  like  a charm.  Mr.  Wal- 
lack,  the  owner,  is  well  pleased  with  them;  would  not  have  any  other.” 

From  Frank:  G.  Schafer,  Merchant,  Youngstown,  O. : 

“Allow  me  to  congratulate  you,  gentlemen,  on  the  merits  of  your  product,  of  which  I 
can  say  without  hesitation,  that  it  is  the  best  thing  in  the  shape  of  a blind  that  I have 
ever  seen.  Of  the  scores  who  have  seen  my  blinds  in  operation,  not  one  has  found  fault, 
while  the  universal  expression  is  that  of  commendation  I bespeak  for  sliding  blinds  in 
general,  and  yours  in  particular,  that  it  is  only  a question  of  time  when  they  will  take 
the  piace  of  folding  blinds  altogether.” 

From  Monroe  H.  Berdine,  Contractor  and  Builder,  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.: 

“Blinds  are  all  right  in  every  particular.  Permit  me  to  repeat  the  ladies’  remark, 
‘They  are  perfectly  grand.’  ” 

From  Stewart  & Jeffrey,  Contractors  and  Builders,  Ottumwa,  111.: 

“Are  well  pleased  with  the  blinds,  and  will  send  our  orders  for  more.” 

From  G.  R.  Morrell,  Builder,  Tarentum,  Pa.: 

“My  Parties  are  well  pleased  with  the  blinds — will  have  2 or  3 big  orders  more  soon.” 
From  J.  R.  Wagner,  Architect  and  Builder,  Muncy,  Pa.: 

“The  blinds  are  in  place  and  work  very  satisfactory.” 

From  T.  C.  Daugiiman,  Little  Sandusky,  O.: 

“Am  well  pleased  with  the  blinds;  think  this  job  will  do  you  good,  as  others  talk  of 
getting  them.’’ 

From  E.  L.  Wagner.  Builder,  St.  Louis,  Mo.: 

“Several  ladies  I showed  the  blinds  to  were  well  pleased  with  them,  and  with  the  idea 
that  they  were  out  of  the  way  of  the  curtains.  I do  not  see  why  they  should  not  come 
into  general  use.” 

From  C.  Cunningham,  Peoria,  111.: 

“Your  blinds  give  good  satisfaction,  much  better  than  the  ‘Hill’  blinds.” 

From  Meader  & Lyre,  House  Furnishings,  Oneida,  N.  Y. : 

“Enclosed  find  draft  for  blinds.  I am  very  much  pleased  with  your  blinds,  the  only 
lot  in  town;  finished  putting  them  in  to-day;  had  quite  a number  look  at  them;  all  seem 
to  like  them.’’ 

From  J.  it  J.  Reddig  & Sons,  Dry  Goods,  etc.,  Shippensburg,  I’a.: 

“Blinds  up  and  very  much  admired  and  no  doubt  will  be  a good  advertisment  for  you.” 
From  S.  I’.  Brown,  Milton,  Pa.: 

“The  shutters  were  all  satisfactory,  also  two  orders.  Mr.  Cadwallader’s  shutters  are  in 
use  and  all  very  satisfactory;  think  we  can  send  you  another  order  soon.” 

From  Lewis  Stratton,  Salem,  O. : 

“Those  blinds  came  to  hand  all  right.  They  are  as  nice  as  can  be;  give  entire  satisfac- 
tion.” 

From  R.  W.  Sadler,  Attorney  at  Law,  Akron,  O. : 

“For  some  weeks  past  I have  been  using  in  my  residence  Hartman’s  Patent  Inside 
Sliding  Blinds.  The  blinds  give  entire  satisfaction,  both  as  to  appearance  and  convenience.” 


HARTMAN  & DURSTINE,  WOOSTER.  OHIO.  49 


From  A.  C.  Guth,  Wholesale  Grocer,  Akron,  O.: 

“I  have  in  my  residence  Hartman’s  Patent  Inside  Blinds,  and  am  more  than  pleased 
with  them  for  their  utility  and  convenience,  and  cheerfully  recommend  them  as  just  the 
thing  for  those  who  want  inside  blinds.” 

From  Frank  O.  Weary,  Geo.  M.  Kramer,  Associate  Architects,  Akron,  O. : 

“We  have  examined  Flartman’s  Patent  Inside  Blinds,  and  in  our  judgment  they  fill  a 
long  felt  want.  We  shall  have  no  hesitancy  in  recommending  and  adopting  them  in 
buildings  under  our  charge.” 

From  D.  W.  Gibbs  & Co.,  Architects,  Toledo,  O.: 

“We  are  using  Hartman’s  Patent  Sliding  Blinds,  manufactured  by  Hartman  & Dur- 
stine,  Wooster,  O. , and  all  things  considered,  think  it  the  best  blind  in  the  market.” 

From  Kirk  Christy  &Co.,  Lumber  and  Hardware  Merchants,  Warren,  O. : 

“We  are  very  much  pleased  with  your  Sliding  Blinds,  which  we  have  just  put  up,  and 
would  like  the  exclusive  agency  for  this  and  Mahoning  counties  for  the  sale  of  your 
blinds.” 

From  Cleveland  Window  Glass  Co.,  dealers  in  Sash,  Doors  and  Blinds,  Cleveland,  O.: 

“We  find  the  demand  for  your  blind  rapidly  increasing  and  those  already  furnished  are 
giving  good  satisfaction.  It  seems  to  us  only  a question  of  time  when  sliding  blinds 
shall  supersede  folding  inside  blinds;  being  so  manifestly  superior  in  all  the  essential 
qualities  of  shutters,  and  so  well  adapted  to  fit  in  every  kind  of  windows.” 

From  W.  A.  Poland,  Architect,  Trenton,  N.  J. : 

“Having  used  the  Hartman  Patent  Inside  Blind  in  a number  of  houses  during  the  past 
year  where  they  give  entire  satisfaction  to  those  using,  and  all  who  have  seen  them,  I can 
heartily  indorse  all  the  inventor  claims  for  them.” 

From  E.  W.  Palmer,  Cleveland,  O.: 

“Messrs.  Hartman  & Durstine. — I placed  some  of  your  Patent  Blinds  in  my  house  last 
year,  and  am  well  pleased  with  them.  Several  of  our  friends  have  given  orders  for  the 
same  kind  for  themselves.” 

From  Lauer  & Yost,  Cleveland,  O.: 

“Cleveland  Window  Glass  Co.— The  Hartman  Patent  Sliding  Blinds  you  furnished  for 
our  Publishing  House  are  satisfactory.  Our  men  are  pleased  with  them.” 

From  B F.  Wade,  Cleveland,  O. : 

“Cleveland  Window  Glass  Co. — The  Patent  Sliding  Blinds  furnished  by  you  last  sea- 
son are  giving  perfect  satisfaction.  I always  disliked  inside  blinds  until  I tried  this  kind, 
and  now  I do  not  see  how  I could  get  along  without  the  Hartman  blind.” 

From  J.  W.  DeVeney,  Publisher,  Cleveland,  O.: 

“Cleveland  Window  Glass  Co. — I can  not  speak  too  highly  of  the  Patent  Sliding  Blinds 
1 got  of  you  last  season.  I have  had  experience  in  building  quite  a number  of  houses  and 
used  the  other  kind,  and  must  say  I like  Hartman’s  the  best  of  all.” 

P'rom  Daniel  Kelly,  Cleveland,  O.: 

“Cleveland  Window  Glass  Co. — The  Inside  Sliding  Window  Blinds  furnished  by  you 
are  giving  perfect  satisfaction,  and  I am  recommending  them  to  my  neighbors.” 

From  P.  L.  Johnson,  Cleveland,  O.: 

“Cleveland  Window  Glass  Co. — We  are  much  pleased  with  Hartman’s  Inside  Sliding 
Blinds  furnished  by  you  last  September.  We  prefer  them  to  any  kind  we  have  seen.” 

From  Judge  Johnson,  Wooster,  O.: 

“Gents:  The  Inside  Sliding  Blinds  furnished  by  you  for  my  house  are  giving  good 
satisfaction.  They  are  convenient,  easily  managed,  and  out  of  the  way.” 

From  Michael  Adler,  Canton,  O.: 

“I  am  pleased  to  express  the  complete  satisfaction  that  "Hartman's  Patent  Inside  Win- 
dow Blinds’  afford  myself  and  family.  We  regard  them  par  excellent’  in  every  respect, 
and  a great  improvement  over  th<;  old-fashioned  blinds,” 

From  L.  Barker,  Dep.  U.  S.  Int.  Revenue  Col.,  Wooster,  O. : 

“Having  ‘Hartman’s  Inside  Sliding  Doors’  in  my  residence,  I can  speak  in  glowing 
terms  of  the  manner  in  which  they  work,  and  the  convenience  they  afford.” 

From  Wilhelm  & Co.,  Sash,  Door  and  Blind  Merchants,  East  Palestine,  O.  > 

“We  have  sold  ‘Hartman’s  Patent  Inside  Sliding  Blinds’  the  past  year  and  they  have

HARTMAN  & DURSTINE.  WOOSTER,  OHIO. 


From  D.  Hammond,  Canton,  0.: 

“I  have  been  using  for  nearly  a year  ‘Hartman’s  Patent  Inside  Sliding  Blinds’  and  can 
cheerfully  recommend  them.  For  durability,  convenience,  beauty  and  satisfaction,  they 
are  unequaled,  and  merit  the  highest  appreciation.” 

Note — Mr.  Hammond  built  a very  fine  residence  and  put  in  these  blinds  at  an  expense 
of  about  four  hundred  dollars,  and  after  trying  them  a year  expressed  himself  as  above.” 

From  J.  Dalzelle  Alexander,  M.  D.,  Wooster,  O.: 

‘‘I  have  been  using  the  inside  Blinds  manufactured  by  J.  B.  Hartman  in  my  private 
office  and  residence  for  the  last  three  months,  and  can  cheerfully  recommend  them  as  being 
perfect  as  regards  their  working.  Elegant  in  design  and  superior  to  anything  of  the  kind 
that  I have  seen  for  neatness  and  convenience.” 

From  C.  R.  Hooker,  Mansfield,  O. : 

‘‘I  have  placed  in  my  new  residence  ‘Hartman’s  Patent  Window  Blinds,’  and  for  ele- 
gance, convenience  and  finish  to  the  window  I regard  them  unequaled.  They  are  ad- 
mired by  all  who  see  them.” 

From  J.  A.  Gann,  M.  D.,  Wooster,  O.: 

‘‘I  have  been  using  Hartman’s  Patent  Inside  Blinds’  for  nearly  three  months  and  find 
them  to  surpass,  if  possible,  my  expectations  concerning  them.  Their  convenience,  ease 
with  which  they  are  worked,  and  their  non-interference  with  curtains  and  plants  in  the 
windows  when  used,  seem  to  leave  nothing  more  to  be  desired.” 

From  W.  H.  Oplinger,  Wadsworth,  O.: 

‘‘I  have  put  up  a number  of  ‘Hartman's  Patent  Sliding  Blinds,’  within  the  past  year 
for  various  parties,  and  find  they  give  better  satisfaction  and  much  better  liked  than  the 
old  style  of  inside  blinds.  Having  had  this  practical  experience  I can  cheerfully  recom- 
mend them  as  being  the  most  desirable  blind  in  the  market.” 

From  Jno.  D.  Deyarmon,  Loudon ville,  O.: 

‘‘We  take  real  pleasure  in  saying  to  you  that  ‘Hartman’s  Patent  Inside  Window  Blinds,’ 
for  simplicity,  excellence  and  beauty,  are  peerless.  Their  introduction  cannot  fail  to 
create  an  immense  demand.  I have  put  them  into  my  new  residence,  aud  hence  know 
their  superior  merits  ” 

From  Hon.  John  McSweeney  and  wife,  Wooster,  O.: 

“In  expressing  our  appreciation  of  ‘Hartman’s  Inside  Sliding  Blinds,’  we  fail  to  find 
words  to  express  our  full  satisfaction  of  them.  The  working  of  them  is  perfection  it- 
self.” 

From  Jacob  Snyder,  Architect,  Akron,  O. : 

“It  affords  me  pleasure  to  have  discovered  a very  desirable  and  useful  article  in  Hart- 
man’s Patent  Inside  Sliding  Blind.  It  is  one,  the  necessity  for  which  has  long  been  felt; 
inasmuch  as  it  is  worthy  to  supplant  the  ordinary  kind,  which  folds  upon  the  surface,  and 
which  is  found  quite  inconvenient  on  account  of  interfering  with  curtains.  I shall  take 
pleasure  in  stating  this  much  to  anyone  contemplating  the  applying  of  inside  blinds  to 
their  windows.” 

From  Gen.  A.  C.  Voris,  Akron,  0- : 

“Having  put  in  my  dwelling  house  Hartman’s  Inside  Sliding  Blinds,  I am  pleased  to 
say,  that  my  wife  and  self  are  very  much  pleased  with  them,  and  take  this  opportunity  of 
recommending  them  to  persons  wishing  a convenient  and  practical  inside  blind.” 

From  Dr.  W.  J.  Underwood,  Akron,  O. : 

“I  have  had  recently  placed  in  my  dwelling  Hartman’s  Inside  Sliding  Window  Blinds, 
and  I am  pleased  to  state  they  give  entire  satisfaction.” 

By  the  kind  permission  of  Mr.  G.  W.  Crawford,  of  Cleveland,  Ohio,  a gentleman  who 
has  had  large  experience  in  the  handling  and  sale  of  the  old  fashioned  blinds,  and  who 
first  introduced  our  blinds  in  that  city,  we  copy  part  of  a letter  written  by  him  giving  an 
item  of  his  experience  in  the  sale  of  our  blinds,  dated  Dec.  27,  1884.  He  says:  “My 
mind  is,  there  is  no  trouble  in  selling  these  Blinds  if  any  one  will  show  them  up  properly. 
My  experience  is,  I can  sell  30  houses  of  this  kind  of  blinds  to  one  of  the  old  folding  kind. 
We  sold  626  windows  of  this  kind,  and  only  two  houses  of  the  old  style  since  we  took  hold 
last  September,  in  less  than  four  months,  and  you  know  it  has  been  a very  dull  fall.  I 
never  fear  to  have  any  one  go  to  any  house  where  they  are  in  use  and  examine  and  in- 
quire about  them.  They  always  come  back  and  say  ‘we  will  use  them.’  ” 


HARTMAN  & DURSTINE.  WOOSTER,  OHIO.  51 


APPENDIX. 

WE  append  the  following  information  for  all  whom  it  may  concern, 
thereby  enabling  all  honest  manufacturers  and  dealers  to  avoid  all 
trouble  arising  from  infringement.  And  he  who  does  not  heed  this  timely  warn- 
ing, but  will  undertake  to  infringe  on  our  rights,  as  some  have  already  at- 
tempted, will  be  dealt  with  to  the  full  extent  of  the  law. 

First. — Our  Overlapping  Stationary  Blind  slats  with  tenoned  ends,  cut  ob- 
liquely to  the  plane  of  the  slat,  entering  into  grooves  in  Stiles  and  Mullions, 
etc.,  or  a series  of  such  slats  with  overlapping  edges  provided  with  tenoned  ends 
entering  grooves  in  the  stiles  and  munions,  etc.,  are  all  protected  by  the  Hart' 
man  Patents  No.  289,832  and  373,067,  dated  respectively,  December  11,  1883,  and 
November  15,  1887. 

Second. — Our  Blind  Pocket,  as  detailed  in  this  catalogue,  consisting  of  ad' 
justable  window  stool,  extended  guideway,  with  panel  back,  etc.,  (see  figures 
17  and  19,  pages  24  and  25)  is  covered  by  Patent  No.  360,523,  dated 
April  5,  1887. 

Third.— The  details  given  in  this  catalogue,  showing  the  combination  of 
Rolling  and  Stationary  Slats  and  Panels  and  Stationary  Slats  in  a slid- 
ing blind  section,  are  thoroughly  protected  by  Patent  No.  373,067,  dated  No- 
vember 15,  1887. 

By  referring  to  the  claims,  one  and  two  of  said  patent,  it  will  be  noticed  the 
claims  cover  broadly  any  form  or  kind  of  stationary  slats,  the  ends  of 
which  are  secured  in  grooves  in  the  adjacent  edges  of  munions  and  frames. 

We,  therefore,  hereby  give  notice  to  all  parties  who  are  manufacturing  slid- 
ing blinds,  several  of  whom  in  their  circulars  and  advertisements  represent 
these  combinations,  and  are  thereby  deceiving  the  public  and  their  patrons  by 
fraudulent  representations  of  a style  of  blinds  they  have  no  right  to  manufac- 
ture or  sell  (Hartman  holding  the  exclusive  patent  right  on  same).  Hence 
making,  not  only  themselves,  but  also  their  customers,  liable  to  damages  for 
infringement,  that  unless  such  illegal  manufacture,  selling  and  using  this  pat- 
ented combination  of  parts  be  discontinued,  we  shall  hold  such  parties  respon- 
sible for  damages  and  further  notify  all  architects,  carpenters  and  builders 
not  to  use  or  cause  to  be  used  by  specifying  the  same,  unless  for  the  Hartman 
Patent  Blind  only,  or  by  consent  of  the  patentee. 

Fourth. — Now,  as  to  the  sectional  details  of  window  frames  as  illustrated 
in  this  catalogue,  it  will  be  seen  by  what  here  follows  that  we  hold  by  virtue  of 
the  Hartman  Patent,  the  exclusive  right  and  control  of  arranging  the  guide- 
ways,  supporting  strip,  sash  stop,  etc.,  in  a window  frame,  so  that  the  sashes 
can  be  removed  without  disturbing  the  guideways,  all  protected  by  patent  No. 
363,530.  Dated  August  16,  1887. 

Fifth. — Notice. — In  view  of  certain  claims  of  invention  made  by  one  Henry 
E.  Wilier,  of  Milwaukee,  Wisconsin,  it  is  due  to  us  and  the  public  to  state  that 
the  claims  so  made  are  fraudulent,  and  were  upon  proceedings  in  interference 
in  the  United  States  Patent  office  at  Washington,  D.  C.,  J.  B.  Hartman  vs. 
Henry  E.  Wilier,  decided  against  said  Wilier  and  in  favor  of  said  Hartman. 
The  cause  was  fully  heard  upon  evidence,  argued  by  competent  attorneys  on 
both  sides,  first  by  the  Examiner  of  Interference  , second  on  appeal  by  the  Board 
of  Examiners  and  third  and  lastly,  on  appeal  by  the  Commissioner  of  Patents. 
In  each  trial  the  question  of  Priority  of  Invention  was  decided  in  favor  of  said 


52  HARTMAN  & DURSTINE,  WOOSTER.  OHIO. 


Hartman,  thereby  abundantly  established  his  exclusive  rights  in  the  matter. 
These  claims  in  issue  in  interference  embraces  two  of  said  Willer’s  patents,  to- 
wit;  No.  333,185  claims  first  and  second,  No.  315,365,  claim  first.  See  William 
Willer’s  sliding  blind  catalogue  of  March,  1886;  page  4,  for  a copy  of  the  fraudu- 
lent claims  upon  which  said  two  patents  were  secured,  and  which  two  patents 
by  virtue  of  this  decision  are  wholly  invalidated,  and  all  persons  are  hereby 
warned  against  using  the  same  and  the  details  thereof,  as  shown  in  said  cata- 
logue and  also  in  his  “No.  5 Architects  and  Builders  Supplement  to  General 
Catalogue,  1886  and  1887.” 

His  “System  No.  2,”  as  shown  in  full  size  details  on  pages  5 and  16,  are 
therefore  infringements  together  with  all  the  following  numbers  detailed  in  the 
two  catalogues  above  referred  to,  to-wit,  sectional  details  of  window  frames 
numbers,  3,  10,  11,  13,  14,  32,  36,  51,  60.  81,  82  and  102,  besides  others  not  named. 
These  catalogues  having  been  published  previous  to  the  aforesaid  litigation  and 
decree  of  court  will  perhaps  account  for  their  being  before  the  public  in  this 
form  and  therefore  from  henceforward,  the  use  of  any  of  these  forms  must  not 
be  continued  without  license. 

Sixth.— We  copy  below  from  the  decision  of  the  Board  of  Examiners  in 
chief. 

United  States  Patent  Office,  March  3,  1887. 

HARTMAN  VS.  WILLER. 

“Before  the  Examiner-in-Chief  on  appeal.” 

“In  the  matter  of  the  interference  between  the  application  of  Jacob  B.  Hart 
man,  filed  January  22.  1886,  and  the  patents,  Nos.  315,365  and  333,185,  granted 
April  7,  1885,  and  December  29,  1885  respectively,  to  Henry  E.  Wilier.” 

The  issues  are  as  follows: 

First. — “The  combination  with  a window  sash  and  frame,  of  blind  way- 
strips  set  back  from  the  front  or  outer  surface  of  the  jambs  of  the  window.” 

Second.— “The  combination  of  window  frame  of  grooved  guide  strips  pro- 
jecting forward  and  extending  beyond  the  front  surface  of  the  inner  casing 
and  the  supporting  strip,  set  in  the  angle  formed  by  the  junction  of  such  guide- 
strip  and  casing  and  a series  of  blinds  to  slide  in  said  grooves.” 

“As  to  both  of  the  issues,  therefore,  invention  by  Hartman  is  made  out  be- 
fore Willer’s  dates.” 

“The  decision  of  the  Examiner  of  Interferences  awarding  priority  of 
invention  to  Hartman  as  to  both  issues  is  affirmed,” 

FISHER  & CLARKE, 
Examiners-in-Chief. 

We  also  copy  an  appeal  from  the  decision  of  the  Commissioner  of  Patents, 
as  follows: 

“Priority  of  invention  was  awarded  to  Hartman  by  the  Examiner  of  Inter- 
ferences and  by  the  Board. 

“Hartman’s  witnesses  show  that  the  invention  wa«  in  a window  of  Hart- 
man’s private  office  in  the  fall  of  1883,  and  sales  were  made  of  the  invention 
in  July,  1884. 

“It  seems  to  me  that  in  both  issues  the  testimony  shows  priority  to  rest  with 
Hartman.  The  Examiner  of  Interferences  called  attention  to  the  alleged  plac- 
ing on  sale  of  the  invention  more  than  two  years  before  the  filing  of  Hartman’s 
application.  The  Board,  however,  hold  that  the  testimony  is  not  sufficient  to 
warrant  them  in  calling  the  attention  of  the  Commissioners  to  the  matter. 

The  decision  of  the  Board  awarding  priority  of  invention  to  Hartman 
IN  BOTH  ISSUES  IS  AFFIRMED.  R.  B.  VANCE, 

Apiil  26,  1887.  “Acting  Commissioner.”

SEND  IN  ORDERS  EARLY. 

It  usually  requires  from  3 to  5 weeks  to  fill  orders,  as  there  are  usually  more  or 
less  orders  promised,  therefore  our  patrons  will  please  send  in  their  orders  as  early 
as  possible,  to  avoid  disappointment.  And  if  they  are  ordered  to  be  finished  by  us, 
it  will  require  about  two  weeks  longer  time. 

Agents  wanted  in  all  cities  of  the  United  States  and  Canada.  A limited  number 
of  State  and  shop  rights  will  be  sold  by  the  Patentee  on  reasonable  terms.  A first- 
class  investment  for  manufacturers.
